Review of Smart Phone Attacks

Pratyush, Prince, Punit Anand

Internet has been permeating into every corner of the world and every aspect of our lives, empowering us with anywhere, anytime remote access and control over information, personal communications (e.g., through smart-phones), and our environment (e.g., through the use of sensors, actuators, and RFIDs). While enabling interoperation with the Internet brings tremendous opportunities in service creation and information access. In this paper, we wish to alarm the community that the longrealized risk of interoperation with the Internet is becoming a reality: Smart-phones, interoperable between the telecom networks and the Internet, are dangerous conduits for Internet security threats to reach the telecom infrastructure.
